HOLY COW, those pictures came in fast! This is fantastic!

What cracks me up is we get these amazingly clear images from the surface of Mars 128,000,000 miles away, yet when they use store camera footage to try and find a robber, it's grainy and you can't make out hardly a thing.

That rocks!
Don't know why my wife and I didn't do it with any Mars landers. However, our names are on two other craft out there somewhere.

The $64,000 question: when do we get landing video?

I think I recall hearing it was going to have to be buffered, and sent back over the course of a couple of days. Maybe they'll update that point in a while. If anyone else has a firmer fix on that, I'll be glad to know.

I stayed with the JPL Raw feed, which was excellent.
